Chiropractic is a non-invasive, evidence-based, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on your nerves and spine. Chiropractic care involves primarily the chiropractor’s hands to provide adjustments to the spine, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, nervous system and joints of the musculoskeletal system. After taking your history, performing your exam and establishing your diagnosis, your chiropractor will develop and recommend a comprehensive treatment/management plan that you can carry out with them. Your chiropractor may recommend therapeutic exercise and other supportive, non-invasive therapies.

The foundation of chiropractic care is the spinal adjustment, which could involve a variety of adjustment techniques. Advanced training in spinal adjusting ensures that your chiropractor is highly-skilled in providing precise adjustments to the vertebrae of the spine, adjusting joint motion to restore proper movement and alignment, and improve function.

For many conditions, such as low back pain, sciatica or neck pain, chiropractic care is the primary method of conservative treatment. When a multi-disciplinary approach is advised, your chiropractor will coordinate care with other health care professionals such as a registered massage therapist, physiotherapist or acupuncturist. Where other conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical or other treatment options. Chiropractic care may also be used to provide symptomatic relief for patients with chronic conditions.

Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on treatment of the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. Your registered massage therapist (RMT) will specifically address the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and joints for the purpose of optimizing your health. Massage techniques can vary from Swedish to Thai, from deep tissue or trigger point therapy to fascia release therapy. Your massage therapist will use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to combine the techniques best suited for your body and your desired goals for your therapy session.

Massage therapy has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health. Physical dysfunction and pain and the effects of stress can be relieved or prevented through massage therapy. Physical function can be developed, improved and maintained with ongoing care.

Various specialized movements of the hands, over the skin or clothes, make up the massage therapy treatment. Your registered massage therapist will work with your level of pain tolerance during each session, and your treatment can be modified or stopped at any time should the treatment become uncomfortable. Your satisfaction with the session and its outcomes are both priorities for your therapist. Massage therapy is not covered by OHIP, but many private insurance companies cover treatment from a registered massage therapist as part of their extended healthcare benefits plans.

Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body—most often by inserting thin needles through the skin. It is one of the practices used in traditional Chinese medicine. Utilizing traditional Chinese medicine principles of health and illness, your acupuncturist will assess you using a holistic approach to body health, function and dysfunction.

Several studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of musculoskeletal pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. Acupuncture may also help reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of tension headaches as well as prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive, non-surgical, drug-free option for people with chronic pain to consider. The effects of acupuncture on the brain and body and how best to measure them are only beginning to be understood.

Relatively few complications from using acupuncture needles or related techniques have been reported. Still, complications have resulted from use of nonsterile needles and improper delivery of treatments. By choosing a registered acupuncturist for your treatment, you can be assured that your practitioner is being held to a higher standard by their regulatory body, and are employing safe needling practices, such as the use of pre-sterilized, disposable needles, proper disposal of used needles in medical sharps containers, protective gloves and sanitization and sterilization practices including rubbing alcohol as needed and appropriate.

About the community of Maple

Maple is a community in the city of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. The original village of Maple counted Keele Street and Major Mackenzie Drive West as its town centre. An unofficial border to Maple exists at Highway 400 to the west and Yonge Street to the east where Vaughan is separated from Markham by Yonge Street.

A number of railways run through Maple for various reasons. The GO Transit Barrie line brings commuters into the Maple and Rutherford GO stations before continuing south towards Union Station in Toronto. The Canadian National Railway yard occupies a vast expanse of land west of Keele Street between Rutherford Road and Highway 7 where cargo is offloaded to distribution warehouses for road transport. Of historical note, the Maple GO Station is designated as a heritage site. A number of bus networks service Maple, including GO Transit buses, Toronto Transit Commission and York Region Transit, including VIVA rapid transit.

The Keele Valley Landfill north of Major Mackenzie along Dufferin Street, was originally a gravel pit, which then repurposed to receive garbage from throughout the Greater Toronto Area. This landfill was closed at the end of 2002, having reached its capacity. After sufficient years had passed and the waste sufficiently decomposed, the landfill was covered over and redeveloped into Eagle’s Nest golf course.

Canada’s Wonderland, a 330-acre amusement park was opened in Maple in 1981 as Canada’s first major amusement them park. The park opens daily from May through September and is the most visited amusement park in North America, attracting visitors from all over Canada, the United States and beyond.

Maple is surrounded by several waterways which flow through York Region. The Don River has its west branch to the west of Maple and Black Creek also beings slightly west of Maple, in the Vellore neighbourhood. As with the rest of the city of Vaughan, the climate in Maple is categorized as continental, with cool dry air from the north but warmer, moister air coming from the south.
